That isn't the font, you can look at it yourself, it doesn't match.

To me it looks like the same font, but with letter spacing reduced so the letters don't flow into each other nicely but overlap a bit.

Edit: here's the same effect made on inkscape: https://i.postimg.cc/TYV6K6bt/taylorswift.png

And no matter what, when preparing for print you're going to mess with all of the kerning until everything looks right or to get effects that you want. You don't just accept the kerning of any font. The only reason to buy expensive fonts is that you have to touch the kerning less often.
